Le Gros Jambon is dope. I stepped in after walking this marvelous city that I've come to know as my oasis away from Boston. This diner has such a nostalgic flair to it that makes you feel at home when you step inside. Very warm and inviting. The open kitchen/cooking area with barstool seating and old pictures on the wall are also masterfully laid out.
After chewing on what the menu had to offer, I chose to go for the BDLT and classic poutine. I don't even like tomatoes. The taste and texture is something that I've never became accustomed to, but as of late I've been trying to slowly become tolerant by not taking it out of my dishes and never eating it by itself. The bacon and duck meat definitely helped mask that. The ingredients all worked and complimented each other very well. It was delicious!
I've tried both the shoestring and thick cut variety throughout the city, and the poutine here is one of the better that I've had in Montreal. Thick cut is the ticket. It absorbs the gravy much better than the thin and of course is much meatier. Loved it.
I'll definitely be back soon, as I've read their breakfast is to fucking die for. Round 2 coming soon to a palate near you!
Go Bruins!!!
